The invention optimizes the structure of the flexible solar cell in the prior art, and solves the technical problems of low qualified rate and poor photoelectric conversion efficiency in preparing large-area flexible solar cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of large-area flexible photovoltaic device preparation, and more specifically relates to a flexible solar cell. Background technique [0002] Solar energy is the most reliable clean resource for human beings in the future. It is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. In the case of shortage of resources, the development and research of solar energy is particularly urgent. [0003] Organic solar cells can be prepared by solution method, and organic semiconductor materials are made into thin-film cells on flexible substrates by simple methods such as spin coating, spray coating, and doctor blade coating. Through the research progress of Alan J. Heeger, Frederik C. Krebs, Cao Yong and Yang Yang on material synthesis and device physics in the past two decades, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of organic solar cells prepared in the laboratory has exceeded 10%. However, these organic solar cell devices with high photoele...
